Society is like stew. If you don’t keep it stirred up, you end up with a lot of scum on the top!

That concludes chapter three.  I’ll call this the end of the beginning, the first Act break.  It’s right after this point that things start to get crazy.

The stage is set and our main cast has been introduced.  Speaking of which, I’ve updated the Cast page with bios for our main three. I’ll keep updating it with the secondary characters as I find the time.

Time is going to be a premium for me; I want to ramp up the art in chapter four, including a subject that has always been difficult for me to draw: Beautiful women. Yep, it’s time we had some nice skirts on these pages.

So tune in next week — no break — for the beginning of the next chapter. See you!

↓ Transcript
Kevin: Four drones shot down. Two more lost to weather. With the storm as cover, they made it into the shipping lanes. They could resurface anywhere on four continents.
Lola: Maybe Jacob was trying to save the crew.
Kevin: Maybe. But he should know better. That undernet attack on Thule was well-coordinated. Which means that Jacob has some new, very shady friends. Lola, he's gone rogue.
Lola: (sigh) I agree. Contact the state departments and intelligence agencies. Then recall Joey and put him on the trail. Let the God-damned hunt begin.

    Considering Jacob’s powers over life-and-death, might they have said “Let the ‘damned God‘ hunt begin” ?

  2. Remus Shepherd says:

    Jacob’s ‘powers’ are mostly concerned with death. Not life so much. 🙂

    Despite Gov. Palin saying “Only dead fish go with the flow”, our heroes here will find, as commodity traders say, that the trend will be their friend…
    The Genociders’ absolute power making them absolutely corrupt, and prone to fatal mistakes.
